I never said "everybody uses it." I said our experience and our
customers experience has shown a preference for the professional
Panasonic. But, as we speak, I am attempting to get critical specs
from the manufacturers so we can actually compare them. When I have it
culled, I'll put it out there for everyone. I'm as interested in it
as anyone and I was avoiding it or refusing to deal with it. I offered
up what I had and it was called "marketing BS" when in reality, all the
coercivity and retentivity specs are issued by the manufacturers anyway
and Panasonic makes most of that tape. So it's all BS or you take it
with a grain of salt (my theory) and see how it works in practical
application IMHO.
